Análisis coste beneficio de la reapertura del ferrocarril del Canfranc utilizando una tasa social de descuento hiperbólica.

Cost-benefit analysis of Canfranc’s rail reopening using a hyperbolic discount rate.

Análisis coste beneficio de la reapertura del ferrocarril del Canfranc utilizando una tasa social de descuento hiperbólica.

Abstract

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar socioeconómicamente la posible reapertura del ferrocarril del Canfranc, que cubre la ruta Canfranc (Huesca) W Pau (Aquitania). Este trabajo ha incorporado al análisis coste beneficio, algunas de las interesantes ideas que han surgido durante los últimos años en relación a este tipo de estudio: Se ha utilizado una tasa de descuento hiperbólica que representa el panorama actual de la economía (la tasa en la que el beneficio presente es más valioso que el beneficio futuro es menor que en otros momentos de la historia). A pesar de la idoneidad de este tipo de tasa para el análisis coste beneficio, no existen apenas trabajos que la incluyan hasta la última década. Es precisamente como consecuencia de lo expuesto en Dasgupta et al (2005) y Weitzman M (2001) que estas tasas han empezado a ser consideradas. Por otro lado, se ha realizado la estimación de la demanda basándose en los supuestos de autores que han realizado análisis coste beneficio de infraestructuras que se encuentran en este mismo espacio geográfico. Además del caso base, también se ha hecho un análisis paralelo, en el que se han disminuido los supuestos a la mitad, al comprobar que la demanda podría haber sido sobreestimada. Como último punto a destacar, se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de sensibilidad de la tasa social de descuento, comparando los resultados que arrojan los distintos valores de la misma. Se han utilizado tres tasas fijas y la tasa hiperbólica utilizada en el Reino Unido además de la tasa hiperbólica gamma utilizada por defecto.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this cost benefit analysis is to economically assess the possibility of reopening Canfranc’s train that goes from Canfranc (Huesca) to Pau (Aquitania). Some of the interesting ideas related to the cost benefit analysis that have arisen during the last few years have been incorporated to the study: A hyperbolic discount rate that represents the current economic situation has been used (the rate at which current benefit is more valuable than future benefit is lower than back in the years). Historically, hyperbolic rates were not used for cost benefit analysis and it is hard to find an analysis that does not use a fixed rate. However, after what was presented in Weitzman M (2001) and Dasgupta et al (2005), this type of discount rate has attracted more attention. Furthermore, the estimation of the demand needed for the analysis has been done by using the same assumptions that other experts used for their studies of similar infrastructures in the Pyrenees. Apart from the default analysis, another cost benefit analysis has been run using less optimistic assumptions as the demand could have been overestimated for the default case. As the last feature to highlight, this study also includes a sensibility analysis of the social discount rate. In that section, there is a comparison of the results gotten after running the analysis with the chosen rates, three different fixed rates and two hyperbolic.
